“Wind from the Atlantic drives the kind of environments that mosquitoes like: It’s warmer, more humid, and the soils are moist.” CIRES' Max Elling spoke with @eos.org about his work that links tropical oceans, soil moisture & malaria cases in Malawai. eos.org/articles/dis...

Distant Oceans May Help Predict Malaria Risk in Malawi - Eos

A new study finds that ocean temperatures thousands of kilometers away shape soil moisture in Malawi, offering a potential tool for forecasting malaria outbreaks months in advance.

Woo-hoo! CUBAMS is honored to receive the 2027 AMS Local Chapter of the Year Award from @ametsoc.org! Big thanks to our members, faculty, and executive officers who helped make this happen! #AMS2027 #CUBoulder

And shoutout to our friends @cubams.bsky.social, the 2027 AMS Local Student Chapter of the Year — "For cultivating lasting student networks, leading impactful community outreach, and establishing a strong, visible presence throughout the American Meteorological Society"

Check out this new article by NOAA Research that summarizes three complementary studies from our research team on what is driving recent CH4 growth! Despite using different approaches, each study comes to the same conclusion that microbial emissions are to blame. research.noaa.gov/pioneering-n...

Pioneering NOAA-University of Colorado research converges on role of microbes in methane’s surge - NOAA Research

Stable isotope analysis points to impact of agriculture and wetlands, not fossil fuels as a driver of the rapid rise in atmospheric methane.
